Possible BIOS issues???

[ROCnRoll]

I have been having issues with my two hard drives. When installing WoW and all its wonderful patches, I continue to get a CRC error. I have uninstalled and reinstalled WoW on 2 different drives (both slave and master) and both give the same CRC error. I have even borrowed a friend's WoW disks just in case mine are damaged (even though I see no damage). I have 0'd out both drives and upgraded from XP64 to Vista 64 to no avail. I have no other issues with any other program or game other than WoW. Since installing Vista, my drives continue to send Vista into a fit when trying to install programs...the 2 drives pick and choose when one is stable and when the other is not.

Now I'm starting to have issues with my DVD burner recognizing blank media (DVD-R, DVD+R, and CD-R).

Talking the problem over with IT guys at work, they suggest a BIOS upgrade... all the upgrades on ASUS page are for 32bit systems.


Here is my build:

ASUS A8N-SLI Premium 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Toledo 2.4GHz Socket 939 Dual-Core Processor

2 - Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 ST3120022A 120GB 7200 RPM 2MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA

2 gig RAM

LITE-ON Black DVD-ROM 52X CD-R 32X CD-RW 52X CD-ROM

Try another DVD drive.

I would believe that if it was not affecting both the DVD Drive and both hdds

It seems that the problem only occurs when your DVD drive is in use.

Well, Nenu was right. I bought a ASUS DVD drive and everything is working.

Thanks Nenu
